AAU applauds the enactment of state laws that allow undocumented students who meet state requirements to pay in-state tuition and state laws that support the ability of autonomous public institutions to achieve comparable goals through their own tuition residency guidelines. We also applaud state laws, such as the DREAM Act recently enacted in California, which allow students, regardless of immigration status, also to participate in state-funded financial aid programs and to be eligible to receive state-funded scholarships.
